Hai-Ying Liu
Dr. Hai-Ying Liu, senior scientist at NILU, combines ecological expertise with a passion for sustainable urban development. She holds an MSc in Environmental Protection from Inner Mongolia University, China, and a PhD in Environmental Biology from the University of Oslo, Norway.
Dr. Liu specializes in the monitoring and assessment of nature-based solutions to enhance environmental quality and public health. Her approach is both interdisciplinary and integrative, tackling the complex challenges of climate change, urban development, and public health. She is particularly focused on fostering community engagement and utilizing multi-actor participatory methods to drive environmental behaviour changes and promote health.
Dr. Liu started at NILU with a postdoctoral fellowship between 2007 and 2008, focusing on the impacts of climate change and air pollution on forest biodiversity. During this time, she also played key role in managing and coording several EU projects. Currently, her work is driven by a vision to integrate environmental quality with urban living, aiming to transform cities into resilient and healthy spaces for future generations. As a senior scientist, Dr. Liu actively leads and support coordination of EU projects and proposals. She also contributes her expertise to NILU’s grants office and sever as an evaluator for both EU and national proposals and projects.
Robert André Logna
Robert André Logna is a senior system developer in the Digital Technologies department.
He is a specialist in client-server technology. Robert is motivated by developing robust, maintainable and scalable information systems.
His areas of interest are mainly distributed processing systems/frameworks (e.g. Apache Spark/HBase/YARN) and development/implementation of machine learning models in such systems.
Susana Lopez-Aparicio
Dr Susana López-Aparicio is a Senior Scientist and Deputy Director of the Urban Environment and Industry department at NILU, where she coordinates research and activities related to air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions.
With over 10 years of experience on emission modelling, her work focuses on developing high spatial and temporal resolution models to support air pollution control, climate mitigation strategies, and urban sustainability. She has led key projects delivering high-resolution gridded emissions for Norway, including the NordicWelfAir, NordSmoke, and EMISYS projects, and advanced emission models for residential wood consumption (METVED model).
Her main goal is to advance scientific knowledge and address environmental challenges faced by public authorities and the private sector. She has managed research projects targeting emissions from diverse sectors, including biofuels, biomass burning, construction machinery, transport hubs (e.g., port and airport), and tourism.
She also serves as reviewer and lead reviewer of national emission inventories submitted under the UNECE Convention of Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP), and the National Emission reduction Commitment Directive (NEC Directive).
She has coauthored 44 peer-reviewed publications, and her h-index is 25 (Google Scholar; December 2024).
